What is the aesthetic movement?

The Aesthetic Movement emerged in the late 19th century, emphasizing the beauty and sensual qualities of art over practical or moral considerations. It promoted the idea of creating art for its own sake, valuing beauty and aesthetic experience as ends in themselves. The movement was particularly influential in Britain.

Inkjet print

An inkjet printer creates prints by spraying millions of tiny ink droplets onto paper. This type of printing is generally inexpensive because the ink is relatively affordable. Artists can use computers to create digital art, which can then be printed in color using inkjet technology.

Crayon

Crayon is a French word that means pencil. In art, a crayon is a stick made of colored wax, chalk, charcoal, or clay used for drawing and coloring. Crayons are typically made from paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum, coal, or wood. Types of crayons include wax crayons, pastel crayons, and oil pastels.

Found objects

Found objects (or objet trouvé in French) are everyday items that an artist finds and incorporates into a work of art. While collectors have displayed aesthetically pleasing objects for centuries, modern art often uses objects that originally had non-artistic functions, such as recycled or repurposed materials.
